"A Job Description from Jesus"
In the Gospels we mostly hear about Jesus and the disciples traveling around doing ministry together. But there were many others Jesus called into discipleship and service beyond the twelve. This Sunday's scripture talks about Jesus sending out the 70 to do ministry in the surrounding towns. The job description he gives is very specific: share greetings of peace, heal all those you can, accept hospitality from whomever gives it to you, and if it doesn't work out, shake off your shoes and move along. Nothing about "saving" people. Nothing about worship. Just peace and healing and fellowship.
How does Jesus' job description match up to what we are doing as church in this time and place? What speaks to us or challenges us?
